Does anyone know if you can connect a different thermostat/humidistat (bypass factory one)?

Hi Marc. The included thermostat is in that box you see at the end of the power conduit leading to the fan. This thermostat could easily be replaced by anything else you want to use to control power to the fan.

There is no way unless you buy a separate adjustable thermostat and wire it in.

You need to purchase the Prestige iAQ comfort system for the humidity control. The Honeywell model we bought does not do this. Thanks

i agree with other responder its a humidistat i dont think you can make it work based on temperture .also i dont think the remote can be used as a control i think it just tells you the temp and humidity of the remote location(at least i couldnt see how to use the remote as a way of activating)

It works very well with the second generation nest thermostat. I had it installed yesterday. The humidifer wire hooks into the * slot of the nest. Once installed you can set it to only run when your furnace kicks on or you can have it run as needed. Hope this helps!

Of course you can do it manually. If you decrease humidity adjustment for example: 50% exhaust fan will be turn on.

If you have two thermostats you should buy two combo sets. You can set a code to control each thermostat and unit. I have more than one and it works fine.

Yes...When the furnace is tripped on by the thermostat it will trigger the water to flow through the humidifier. The humidifier does not contain its own fan.

You will most likely have to order it from the factory. If I remember correctly, there was a parts list with the paperwork that came with the humidifier. You can also go to Essick's website and order it there.

Yes you can. The one I replaced was from an 02 model. The wiring diagram was slightly different, but I connected the wires just as they were connected on my original unit and the thermostat functions normally. This unit was a bit different than the original in that the new circuit board had four settings on the 'system' selection function, however, the cover plate will not allow you to select the fourth function.

Not sure about buying the tank... but you could buy an identical humidifier and use its tank with your current base. Then whenever the current base fails to heat you could use that tank with the new base... Just a thought...

Try contacting Honeywell directly since they manufacture the model shown. We have one and it works well.

I wired in another switch in parallel with the thermostat, bypassing the thermostat, that enables me to turn the fan on any time regardless of the temperature. I believe you could obtain a humidity controller and wire it in parallel too.

No. You just have to make sure the connectors to your existing thermostat are compatible with this one. You can look at the one you have now and see if it is not by the online compatibility. I did not. And mine was not compatible.

Yes. Assuming that you mean to use the indoor sensor, go to Installer Options and select one or more sensors for the temperature reading (choosing multiple sensors, including the thermostat itself, will average the temperature readings). The indoor sensors also read humidity, but you can only choose one (but you can choose a different one for dehumidification if you'd like). If you mean to use the remote sensor (w/ display) then link it to whichever thermostat you'd like it to work with.

The instructions say you can just run a wire from the Aprilaire 800 to the (provided) humidistat. But, if you do this how will it know when the furnace fan is on? Will The A. 800 just and steam without fan running?(Please, note I don't want to buy or use etc pressure switch or (optional) fan pack.)

From the interface to the thermostat, yes. If you have an existing thermostat with four wires, you should be fine. It can even act as your central humidistat with only four wires. Having the interface box probably simplifies things in many cases--especially in complex systems. I recommend drawing a simple schematic of your installation before you begin. I called Ecobee's support before buying. They were helpful.
